      Verdict

      Mr Steadfast won at Ballinrobe in July but has been beaten twice since and faces no easy task here off level weights against NUMBER ONE LONDON. Tim Vaughan's gelding has the higher handicap mark and will bounce off this fast ground. Welcome Ben has already been placed twice over this course and distance this summer and should make the frame again if back on song after a modest showing at Market Rasen.
